Most often this is due to iron deficiency, but it can also occur in other red blood cell production (hematopoietic) abnormalities.

What does it mean to have a high MCH a low RDW and low saturation on blood test?

A high mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) level indicates increased hemoglobin content in your red blood cells. A low red cell distribution width (RDW) reflects uniformity in the size of your red blood cells. Low saturation typically refers to low oxygen saturation levels in the blood. These results may suggest potential issues such as anemia, iron deficiency, or problems with oxygen transport in the body. Discuss with your healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation and appropriate management.


What is a mch test?

"mch" stands for mean corpuscular hemoglobin, which is a measure of the average amount of hemoglobin in your red blood cells. It is often used to help diagnose different types of anemia and other blood disorders.


What does it mean when your MCH is low?

A low Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH) level typically indicates that there is less hemoglobin in the red blood cells than normal. This can be due to conditions such as iron deficiency anemia, thalassemia, or chronic diseases that affect red blood cell production. Further evaluation by a healthcare provider is needed to determine the underlying cause.


What does that mean if you MCH test is high?

That is not possible. There is something wrong with your results. Tell your MLT/MT to rerun your CBC/MCH test. Spherocytes can cause MCH/MCHC to go high, but it is impossible. Spherocyte is a small red blood cell that have no central pallor


What does MCH stand for and what does it measure?

MCH stands for Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin and it measures the average amount of hemoglobin in a single red blood cell. It is a parameter in a complete blood count (CBC) test and helps in diagnosing different types of anemia.

What does it mean to have high MCH on bloodwork?

MCH in blood work refers to Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin. This is the concentration of hemoglobin in blood cells. High MCH can mean macrocytic anemia, which results from a deficiency in vitamin B12 or folic acid.
